Ghazaleh Bayat Poems

My dearest
Gun took you away,
And I will keep bringing white roses to you,
To remind you of my never ending love
...

My flowers died when it was April yet,
An eternal eclipse darkened my sight,
And a heavy air filled my lungs
How could I ever love the enchanting sunrise and the melancholic sunset?
...

Would you be with me in a night so sorrowful?
In a night wherein you see nothing of that glorious face
And all you got beside you,
Is an aching soul so old and so tired.
...

There is nothing to laugh about
When I state a joke, forget the windup
Organs hastily start shrinking
When I leave my fresh wound open
...

In your eyes, I see witches of Salem weeping, don't burn them with tears

Through your lips I smell the scent of sempiternal lies, your immortal flaws
...

Do the favor darling man,
grasp your words, the keenest ones
plunge them gently into my chest
The sharpness, the pain
...

There is a reflection of you in every sparkle my lighter makes
And I feel your scent as I smoke my half-burnt cigarette

I find the words I longed to say in the songs they play on the street
...
